Trailer for the Raíces Cultural Center documentary Relief, Renewal, Resilience: Reflections on Hurricane María and her Aftermath. The documentary was premiered in the Spring of the 2019 at the Forum Theater in Metuchen, New Jersey.
Since Hurricane María devastated the island of Puerto Rico over one year ago, organizations, individuals and community groups across the island have been working for a sustainable, renewable and just recovery. From food sovereignty to solar power to sustainable building methods, people across Puerto Rico are answering a call to change for the better, to work together to build for resilience and autonomy, and to protect our Mother Earth. For many, Hurricane María was a wake up call for the island. “Relief, Renewal, Resilience: Reflections on Hurricane María and her Aftermath” tells just some of the countless stories from Puerto Ricans working towards a cleaner, greener and more just future for the island of Puerto Rico.
